Abdulkadir Kure University, Minna, has proudly secured third place in the just-concluded Empower Communities for Plastic Sustainability (ECPS) Community Pitching and Award Event, held in Abuja on May 21, 2025.
The Global Plastic Action Partnership organized the prestigious national event in collaboration with the Young Advocates for a Sustainable and Inclusive Future.
The competition, which took place at the Event Center behind Silver Green Hotel, Gudu, Abuja, brought together innovative community-based initiatives from across the country, all focused on sustainable plastic waste management and empowerment through recycling-based entrepreneurship.
The university was represented by Abdussalam Mustapha, a student from the Department of Computer Science Education, who pitched the university supported project titled “Akum Shango” a community-based plastic waste management and job creation initiative nurtured within the university’s GT Hub.
The “Akum Shango” initiative trains both students and members of the surrounding community in various entrepreneurial skills, particularly in transforming plastic waste into eco-friendly interlocking tiles and other useful materials. The project reflects Abdulkadir Kure University’s strong commitment to environmental sustainability, innovation, and community empowerment.
Through the university’s support, students are encouraged to turn environmental challenges into opportunities for wealth creation and social impact. The impressive performance at the ECPS event marks a significant milestone for the university’s growing reputation in sustainability-driven innovation.
